San Francisco 49ers LB Corey Lemonier, a second-year linebacker with the team, may be dealt prior to the Tuesday, Oct. 28 trade deadline to free up space on the roster. Lemonier will likely be inactive when LB Aldon Smith returns, and Lemonier has already lost his starting nickelback job.

San Francisco 49ers LBs Parys Haralson and Corey Lemonier are expected to compete to be the primary backup at outside linebacker. Haralson is better suited for the base 3-4 defensive alignment while Lemonier likely will be used in pass-rush situations.

The San Francisco 49ers moved up to the 26th pick in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft to select Auburn DE Corey Lemonier. They gave up their third-round selection (No. 93 overall) and their seventh-round pick (No. 216 overall).
